/website-synthesis (DEPRECATED)
This skill has been consolidated into /synthesize.
Why
T29 (Session #271) merged /repo-synthesis (v1.3) and /website-synthesis
(v1.1) plus the cross-type synthesis stub from /analyze into a single unified
skill. The new skill supports all 4 paradigms this skill exposed (thematic,
narrative, matrix, meta-pattern), source tier weighting (T1-T4), and the
saturation stopping rule, while also handling repos, documents, and media in one
pass.
See .planning/synthesis-consolidation/ for the full design (32 decisions, 5
waves, 15 steps).
Migration
# Old
/website-synthesis --paradigm=thematic
# New
/synthesize --type=website # website-only synthesis
/synthesize # cross-type (recommended)
/synthesize --paradigm=matrix # paradigm overrides supported
All flags from the old skill are supported via /synthesize. Output paths have
changed: .research/website-analysis/synthesis/synthesis.md →
.research/analysis/synthesis/synthesis.md (parent directory consolidated from
per-handler website-analysis/ to the unified analysis/). History is
auto-archived to .research/analysis/synthesis/history/.
Removal
This redirect expires next session. The directory will be deleted after a
one-session overlap to prevent breakage from habit or stale references.
Deprecated: 2026-04-09 (Session #271, T29 Wave 3).
When to Use
- Never — this skill is DEPRECATED. Use
/synthesize instead.
- Redirect stub exists only to surface the migration note for one session.
When NOT to Use
- Any synthesis work → use
/synthesize (direct replacement, superset).
